His audience hasn't been able to see the woods for the Xenu for quite a while now. His new film Knight And Day ($20m on its opening weekend) was walloped at the box office in the US, playing third fiddle to Adam Sandler's bromance Grown Ups ($41) and Toy Story 3 ($59m). This follows the turkeys that were Lions For Lambs ($7m) and Valkyrie ($21). Alarmingly, his next outings don't look like they're going to rescue this sinking ship: a Tropic Thunder spin-off as the greaseball agent Les Grossman (fat suit ahoy!), Mission: Impossible IV (zzz) and rumours of a Top Gun sequel.
